wholesome food to thousands of per
sons at the expense of but little trou

In the retrospect the Sixty-first con
gress, which has Just expired by con
stitutiosal limitation, appears to have
been distinguished by three things :
the revision of the tariff in the so
called Payne-Aldrlch bill, which was
passed at an extra session in the sum
mer of 1909; the larg?* amount of Im
portant legislation, much of it upon
the recommendation of President Taft
enacted at the regular session of 1909
10, and the exceedingly small prod
uct cf the "short session," so-called,
now closed.
The question concerning the valid
ity of William Lorimer's title tc a
seat in the United States senate from
Illinois was decided in Lorimer's fa
vor by the membership of the sea
ate itself. The vote was 46 to 40.
Thirty-five Republicans and eleven
Democrats voted for Lorimer. Seven
teen Democrats and twenty-three Ito
publicans voted against the Illlnol
sian.
The house of representatives gave
its formal approval to the constitu
tion of New Mexico, advancing the
territory another step toward state
hood. The constitution of Arizona
has not yet reached Washington, and
cannot be acted on until thc next ses
sion of congress.
The house passed the bill recom
mended by Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh, providing that none of the
$290,000,000 of Panama canal bonds
authorized in the Payne tariff law
shall be received as security for the
issue of circulating notes. The pur
pose of the legislation, it is said, is
to protect the $700,000,000 of 2 pet
cent. United States bonds now out
standing from depreciation. The new
bonds are to bear a rate of 3 per
cent., but without the circulation priv
ilege.
The Borah resolution for the pop
ular election of senators, with the
Sutherland amendment tacked on, fail
ed of passage in the senate. It lacked
four votes of securing the requisite
two-thirds majority. The vote was
54 for the resolution and 33 against
iL. Eight Southern Democrats voted
against it.
John Hays Hammond has been se
lected to represent President Taft as
special ambassador at the coronation
cf King George V.
The special committee of the house
appointed last summer to investigate
Senator Gore's charges of attempted
bribery in connection with J. W. Mc
Murray's Indian attorney contracts in
Oklahoma, made its final report to the
house. The majority of the commit
tee finds that Jake L.,Hanlon actually
did, about May 6, 1910, make an im
proper proposal to Senator Gore re
specting the McMurray contracts. ,
President Taft, by inference, was
charged with using his appointive
powers to intimidate the members ol
congress. The inferred charge was
made in a speech by Senator Jona
than Bourne of Oregon, and until re
cent trouble over an Oregon appoint
ment the intimate friend and golfing
companion of the executive. Tho sur
prising thing was that, although all
of the senators as an attack upon the
president, not a word was uttered in
reply.
The "magazine war" is ended. A
compromise has been reached and
President Taft and Senator Penrose,
chairman of the postoffice and post
roads committee, agreed to it. The
rider to the postoffice appropriation
bill increasing the magazine rates
will be eliminated ana a provision
substituted creating a commission to
investigate the entire subject and re
port to congress at the next session.
The magazine "rider" proposed to
increase tlie postage rates on the ad
vertising sections of magazines from
the present rate ofv one cent a pound
to four cents a pound.
Ambassador O'Brien and Count Ko
mura, the Japanese foreign secretary,
have exchanged congratulations on the
ratification of the treaty between the
United States and Japan. There are
not lacking evidences that the high
est officials and entire press of this
country, as well as the general pub
lic, are deeply stirred by the early
acceptance by the American govern,
ment of Japan's assurances that she
desires a continuation of friendly re
lations which have always existed and
by the confidence shown in the sin
cerity of Japan's undertaking regard
:ng emigration.

A VALSE IDEA OF BRAVERY.
judge Sease in His Charge to Grand
Jury Talks of Pisto! Toting.
Saluda.-The charge of Judge Sease
who was presiding here, in the court
of sessions, to the grand jury was a
strong deliverance. He emphasized
the duties of grand and petit jurors
He traced to the prevalent pistol
toting habit much of the lawlessness
In the state. In this connection he
stated that when a man puts a plato]
in his hip pocket and goes out among
bis fellows there was an understand
ing with himself deep down in his
heart to murder upon the slightest
provocation. In getting at the cause
of so many homicides in South Caro
lina he gave it as his opinion thal
society had false idea of courage
and bravery. Public sentiment some
times applauds the killing of a mar.
as an act of bravery when it should
condemn it in no uncertain tones.
The man of the highest courage
is the man who conquere himself
Such an one is greater than the mar
who? taketh a city. If a man, espe
cially a white man, he guilty of steal
ing,, public sentiment condemns him
He ?B scorned. But this same senti
ment is often guilty of excusing, up
on the false theory of courage and
bravery, the man who slays his fel
low man.

LAW TO PROTECT CHILDREN.
Act of Legislature Provides for Neg
lected Boys and Girls.
"Destitute, abandoned and unpro
tocted" children, for whom no othei
special provision is made, will here
after be committed to the care of th<
Rescue orphanage, Columbia, whor
ever they may be found in the state
The act so providing has been ap
proved by Governor Blease, and the
affixing of hlB signature made lt ef
fective.
The measure provides: "That wher
ever any girl under the age of 14
or boy under the age of 10 years
shall be found by any policemen,
sheriff, constable or other person in
any county, city or town, in circum
stances of destitution or suffering, 01
of abandonment, exposure or neglect
or of beggary or in any house of ill
fame, it shall be lawful for, and thc
duty of, such officers to make report
thereof to the probate judge of saic
county. Thereupon, such probate
judge shall forthwith fix.a time for th'
hearing and Investigation of such
case, as speedily as possible, and give
notice cf such hearing to the paren,
pr parents, if known, or to the guar
dian or custodian of such child, ii
known. And such probate judge shall
hear all the evidence offered befor<
him and investigate fully the circum
stances and surroundings of such
child. And if, upon such investiga
tion, the said officer shall find tha'
said child is abandoned, or withou
any adequate or proper care or cus
tody, it shall bc lawful for, and thc
duty cf, such officer to issue a war
rant of commitment committing sale'
child to the custody, care and rearing
cf the Rescue orphanage, situated a
Columbia, or to any similar orphan
age in the state, devoted to the re
lief and care of such children.
"The said orphanage and any oth
er orphanage devoted to the relie:
of children who are dstitute, aban
dened or being raised in immora'
and vicious surroundings, shall have
full care and control over any chile'
committed to it, as herein provided;
subject always to the right of thc
courts to Inquire into the propriety
and sufficiency of the care and main
tenance being provided for any nuch
child, and;to modify or chance the
care and custody of any child, ar
the court may deem proper.
"That any such orphanage, tc
which a child bas been committed
as provided in . the two preceding
sections, shall have the right to en
trust any such child, for its cares,
maintenance rearing, education and
adoptier}, to the care7 and custody ol
any Individual or family, which it
may deem proper, upon such guaran
tees as may be required by .sud
orphanage. But this right shall be
subject to the supervision, investiga
tion and control of the courts o'
common pleas for said state of South
Carolina, upon application made tc
the courts."
Pardons Refused by Governor.
Young Springfield, the Greenville
county boy, who it is alleged killed
his father in defense of his mother,
in 1903 and who was last September
sentenced to serve two years in the
state penitentiary, has been refused
a pardon by Governor Blease. The
boy has served eight months of his
sentence.
Richard Kennerly of Lexington
county, colored, who robbed a blind
man of $6.80, was refused a pardon
by Governor Blease.
Kennerly was given six years in
the penitentiary for having held up
an old blind man and taking the
money from him. He has served three
years of his time.
Special Judge George Johnstone
wrote, on February 25, that he could
not recommend clemency in this case
although "I have always favored the
side of mercy." "This negro," writes
Judge Johnstone, "Richard Ken
nerly deliberately planned and way
laid his victim, an old blind man, and
robbed him of all he had."
Insurance Amount Saved.
Insurance to the amount of $330,
000 will be renewed this month on
the buildings of the State Hospital
for the Insane by a committee con
sisting of Dr. J. W. Babcock, the
superintendent of the institution, J
Wright Nash of the board of regents
and J. W. Bunch, tho treasurer o
the asylum.
The policies are for three years,
which means the saving of a censidsr
ahle sum.
Under the law $6,500 is appropria
ted, for the Insurance.
Town Needed for Veterans' Reunion.
The question the Confederate vet
erans are very much interested in at
present is the selection of a city for
the next Confederate reunion, for
thus far no town has put in a bid for
the visit of the veterans this year.
The sum of $1,500 has been ap
propriated for the use of the town
inviting the soldiers to aid in the
entertainment and this will go far
toward defraying the expenses. Thif
Is usually left to the commander and
the committee in charge and orders
issued afterwards.
Requisitions in Certain Cases. *
Governor Blease will in the future
refuse to issue requisition papers for
criminals wanted on minor charges.
He said that no more requisition pa
I-.-^rs would be issued for those con-j
vlcted cf misdemeanors unless the
r -un les paid the cost of bringing the
prisoners back to the state. When a
requisition is issued the expense of
bringing the prisoner buck to the
state is paid out of the contingent
fend cf tho governor. He would issue
requisition papers for a criminal
wanted cn c. serious charge.

WORK OF MISSION BOARD.
Methodists Will Contribute Over $50,
OOO-Bishop Kilgo'ft Sermon.
The board of missions of the South
Carolina conference held its sessions
i u the Washington Street Methodisl
church. All of the 12 clerical mem
bers of the board, two of the 12 lay
members and six of the 12 presiding
elders were present The collection
and distribution of the $50,000 mis
sionary offering is the business of
the board. The members of the
board think the outlook for the larg
est missionary offering ever made by
the South Carolina conference ii
good, and will be made this year.
Rev. M. B. Kelley is devoting his
time as missionary secretary to thc.
matter of missions throughout thc
conference.
Bishop Jno. C. Kilgo, a native ol
Sou?h Carolina, and the son of a
Methodist preacher, addressed thc
board. His subject was "Evange
lism." The bishop also preached at
night to a mixed congregation. The
text chosen was 1 Tim. 1:15: "This ir
a faithful saying and worthy of all
acceptation, that Jesus came into the
world to save sinners."
The bishop said, in substance: "Thc
words of the text are the only ex
planation of tho incarnation and
atonement. The one great fact evei
present to the consciousness of
Christ was the salvation of a sin
cursed world. The one great fact ol
salvation is the explanation of hie
mighty works. He spoke with finality
concerning himself: 'No one cometh
unto the father but by me.'
"The one passion of Jesus was the
salvation of sinners. Their cry com
manded his instant attention. Thc
l?per, the sinful woman, the thie? on
the cross, a penitent Peter, all called
from him instant redemption.
"The church which does not possess
such a passion for sinners is organ
ized hypocrisy. The professing Chris
tian who does not share the passion
of his master is a hypocrite.
"The passion of the master is thc
ground of all the science of missions.
As the church shows the passion of
the master so will the world be
brought to Christ."

insane, should be subject to the grane!
jury and criminal court, at least be
fore being sent to this hospital as e
lunatic. As it now stands, such easer
are frequently sent here by the
judge of probate, without regard tc
the officers of the law charged with
the handling of criminal cases. I do
not mean to say that all of these cases
are not insane. Some of them have
had attacks of insanity prior to the
criminal act. But my point is that
even lunatics, when they commit
crimes, should by that very act, pass
beyond the jurisdiction of the probate
courts and become subjects for the
criminal cpurts.
I have appealed to judges of pro
bate and other officers in vain in these
matters. Some solicitors, to my
knowledge, have also protested
against the practice, but to no pur
pose.
More Hope for Heyward County.
The Heyward county movement was
given a new lease on life when Gov
ernor Blease refused to sign the mea
sure passed at the last session of the
general assembly which was aimed
at ill-formed counties.
"In my opinion the act ls in con
flict with the constitution and I de
cline to sign the same."
This was the telegram addressed
by the governor to D. Si Henderson,
representing Aiken county and
George T. Jackson of Augusta, rep
resenting Heyward county.

Not Any Special Investigation.
Governor Blease, in a letter tc
Comptroller General Jones denies that
ne said that the comptroller should
go ahead and spend the $5,000 for
special investigations. This was the
item that Governor Blease vetoed in
thc appropriations bill and upon which
the senate sustained his veto.
"I thought it was a needless appro
priation and cut it out," writes the
Governor.
The criticism by the chairman of
the ways and means committee called
forth the letter.

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR
"I think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on Its head when lt
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it
did no good. In a few days the head,
was a solid mass; a Tunning sore. It
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. ' His suffering was dreadfuL At
last we remembered Cuticura Reme
dies. We got a dollar bottle of Cuti
cura Resolvent, a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and.a bar of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint
ment We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and lt has never como
back again. His head was healthy
and he had a beautiful head of hair.
I think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. It makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair.**

A Woman's Letter.
Women, lt ls generally admitted,
write better letters than men.
M. Marcel Pr?vost has discovered
the reason for this Luperiority. "Tho
obvious meaning is never the one we
6hould read into a woman's letteT.
There is always a veiled meaning.
Woman makes use of a letter just
as she employs a glance or a smile.
In a way that is carefully thought out
and with an eye to effect. And; after
all, does a woman's hat serve to cover
her "head? Does a woman's parasol
keep off the sun? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad
dressed, just like letters of some*
honest grocer, who writes: 1 send you
five pounds of coffee,'* because he
really does send you five pounds of
2offee?" "'
Consumption Spreads in Syria.
Consumptives In Syria are treated
today much in the same way as the
lepers have been for the last 2,000
years. Tuberculosis is a comparative
ly recent disease among the Arabs and
Syrians, but so rapidly has lt spread
that the natives are in great fear of
It Consequently when a'member of
a family is known to have the disease,
he is frequently cast out and compelled
to die of exposure and want A small
hospital for consumptives has been
opened at Bey rout under the direction
of Dr. Mary P. Eddy.
Fighting Tuberculosis In Hungary,
The anti-tuberculosis movement
was started in 1894, and rn 1898 there
were five institutions for the treat
ment of consumption. Today the cam
paign is encouraged and financed by
the government, and over 200 different
agencies are engaged in the fight A
permanent tuberculosis museum has
been established at Budapest and a
carefully conducted campaign of edu
cation is being carried on.
